The prince raised objections. Chu Chengyao had no jurisdiction over the affairs of the court except his rotation to the royal hunting grounds to inspect the Ding'an army, so it was useless to go to court.
However, the emperor backhandedly handed over the Ministry of Punishment to the jurisdiction of Chu Chengyao, and ordered Chu Chengyao to learn more and read more, and to familiarize himself with the regulations as soon as possible to share his worries.
When Chu Chengyao was announced to the palace, he had already prepared for the worst, but he didn't want to take a turn for the worse. Although he didn't know how he suddenly caught the attention of his father, he knew that this was a great opportunity for him to make a comeback. Thank you for your edict.
Chu Chengye didn't know why Chu Chengyao was favored, but he was happy to see the prince deflated. Chu Chengyao said happily that if Chu Chengyao needed help, he would come to him.
Chu Chengyao thanked him humbly and said frankly that if he had any problems, he would come and ask for help.
Seeing that Chu Chengyao had gained power and still respected him as before, Chu Chengye was more pleased with Chu Chengyao. If he got Chu Chengyao's help, it would be equivalent to having the Ministry of Punishment in his pocket.
Thinking of this, Chu Chengye became more friendly to Chu Chengyao.
The prince turned a blind eye, and after coming out of the imperial study, he strode away sullenly.
The Duke's Mansion of the State of Qin.
When Duke Guo of Qin learned that Chu Chengyao had gained control of the Ministry of Punishment, he let out a long sigh:
"Your Majesty thinks that we have gone too far recently, so he specifically handed over the punishment department to Chu Chengyao. Before, he just reprimanded the prince, but now he directly gives Chu Chengyao the real power to control the Duke's palace, which shows that your majesty is really angry. This time Let that guy go and stop dealing with him."
Qin Zongliang: "Grandpa, don't be anxious, the future is long. He only has the Ministry of Punishment and Uncle Hong An, so he can't make a big impact. The most urgent task now is to arrange the burial of the corpse. After the corpse case is completed by the Jingzhao Yin Mansion, it will be handed over to the Ministry of Punishment. I'm afraid that Chu Chengyao Make a fuss about this."
Uncle Qin: "Your Majesty gave him the punishment department. I am afraid that he is going to give the Duke's government a disgrace. He must be dealt with properly."
In Yan Yuxuan.
Ever since she heard that Chu Chengyao had taken power in the Ministry of Justice, Lin Jinyan had been absent-minded and depressed all day long. She tried her best to plan in every possible way, but she actually helped Chu Chengyao.
Is he really the chosen one? Will everything in the past life happen again?
All kinds of frustration, resentment, panic, and desolation were intertwined, making Lin Jinyan feel as if she had been drained of all her energy. Facing the care of the old lady and Lin Siyuan, she could not find any mental comfort.
It was the first time Hong Jiu saw Lin Jinyan like this, and he informed An Zhixian when he came to Buyehou.
"You said that Lin Jinyan felt like she had lost her soul when she found out that the second prince had taken control of the Ministry of Justice? Have you ever seen her being at odds with the second prince when you were around her?"
Hong Jiu shook his head and said, "I've never seen it before."
An Zhixian couldn't figure out the reason: "Go back and tell her that the people she sent have left the city safely, and I will send them to Zhangzhou for good shelter. In addition, the Tianji Gate has been found, and she can go there at any time."
Hong Jiu nodded in agreement, and when he was about to leave, An Zhixian stopped him:
"Feng Xiaoran brought this box of pastries. Take it back to Lin Jinyan. The little girl must love sweets."
Hong Jiu was stunned for a moment, then took the pastries and bowed before leaving.
Returning to Yan Yuxuan, looking at Lin Jinyan who was still weak, Hong Jiu conveyed An Zhixian's words in a soft tone, and took out the pastry and handed it to Lin Jinyan:
"Master knows that you are unhappy, so he asked me to bring you something to eat. A piece of it can help you feel refreshed."
Lin Jinyan, who was lying on the table, shook her head and buried her head in her arms.
